Changing the HTTP server port number: In the HTTP Port field, enter the port number and press Apply.

Setting the HTTP authentication method: The Sentry HTTP server supports two authentication methods for security and validation of the username-password – Basic and MD5 digest.

The Basic method utilizes Base64 encoding to encode and deliver the username-password over the network to the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and offers a minimum level of security.

NOTE: The Base64 algorithm is widely-known and susceptible to packet-sniffer attack for acquisition of the encoded username-password string.

The MD5 digest method provides stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. Instead, the sending browser creates a challenge code based on the hash algorithm, provided username-password and unique items such as the device IP address and timestamp, which is compared against the HTTP server internal user database of valid challenge codes. The MD5 digest method offers a higher level of security than the Basic method but at present is not supported by all browsers.

NOTE: MD5 is known to be fully supported by Internet Explorer 5.0+

Select Basic or MD5 from the Authentication drop-down menu and press Apply.

Setting SSL access level Sentry SSL supports configuration of SSL connections as being either optional or required. The default access level is set to optional.

SSL Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure HTML sessions between a Sentry Remote Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure:

• Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server. • Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted rendering any

intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.

SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely identifying individuals or websites and enables encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The Sentry product’s SSL Certificate enables the client to verify the Sentry’s authenticity and to communicate with the Sentry securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information from interception and hacking.

SSL Command Summary Command Description Set SSL Enables/disables SSL support

Set SSL access Sets SSL access as optional or required

Installation and Operations Manual

SNMP Traps The Sentry supports three types of SNMP traps. Traps are enabled at the tower (T), infeed (I) or outlet (O) level.

Trap Summary Name Level(s) Description Status T, I, O Operational status change

Change O Control status change

Load I Input load out of limit

All traps include the Location of the Sentry as defined with the Set Location command.

Status trap A Status trap is generated when an error condition occurs on a tower, infeeed, Environmental Monitor or individual sensor. Status traps include the reported Status, the Location of the Sentry and identifier and name of the affected tower, infeed, outlet, environmental monitor or sensor.

Any error state generates a Status trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status. All status traps are enabled by default.

Tower Status traps Status Error Description Normal Tower is working correctly

NoComm x Communication to the tower has been lost

Infeed Status traps Status Error Description On Infeed is on

OffError x Infeed should be on but no current is sensed at the infeed

NoComm x Communication to the infeed has been lost

Outlet Status traps Status Error Description On Outlet is on

Off Outlet is off

OnWait Outlet Status in transition

OffWait Outlet Status in transition

OnError x Outlet should be off but current is sensed at the outlet

OffError x Outlet should be on but no current is sensed at the outlet

OffFuse x Outlet should be on but a blown fuse has been detected

NoComm x Communication to the outlet has been lost

NOTE: Traps are generated according to a hierarchical architecture; i.e. if a Tower Status enters a trap condition, only the Tower Status trap is generated. Infeed and Outlet Status traps are suppressed until the Tower Status returns to Normal.

Change trap The Change trap is generated for all outlet status changes between any on/off conditions. Change traps include the outlet status, Location of the Sentry, and identifier and name of the affected outlet. For descriptions of the outlet status types, please refer to the prior table.


Load Trap The Load trap is generated whenever the total input load on an infeed exceeds a preset threshold. Load traps include the reported input load, load status, Location of the Sentry, and identifier and name of the affected infeed.

Any error state generates a Load trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Load returns to a non-error status.

Load traps Status Error Description Normal Infeed is on and within preset thresholds

NotOn Infeed is off

Reading Non-error state – Load status currently being read

LoadHigh x Infeed current load exceeds preset threshold

OverLoad x Infeed current load exceeds the measurable range for the infeed

ReadError x Unable to read Load status

NoComm x Communication to the infeed has been lost

Configuring Traps

SNMP Trap Command Summary Command Description Set Trap Tower Status Enables or disables the Tower Status trap

LDAP The Sentry family of products supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3. This support enables authentication with Active Directory, a network Directory Service; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each Sentry device.

This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each Sentry product, and in Active Directory) a set of necessary LDAP Groups, and access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined Sentry LDAP Groups. User accounts can be added, deleted, or changed in the Active Directory without any changes needed on individual Sentry products.

Enabling and Setting up LDAP Support There are a few configuration requirements for properly enabling and setting up LDAP support. Below is an overview of the minimum requirements.

Directory Services server configuration requirements:

1. Define at least one LDAP group. 2. Assign users to that LDAP group.

Sentry configuration requirements:

1. Enable LDAP support. 2. Define the IP address and domain component of at least one Directory Services server. 3. Set the LDAP bind request method being utilized by the Directory Services server. 4. Define the IP address of at least one DNS server. 5. Test DNS server configuration using Sentry ‘ping’ support. 6. Define at least one LDAP group and assign access rights for that group.

NOTE: LDAP group names on the Directory Service server and the Sentry must match.


Enabling and disabling LDAP support The Set LDAP command is used to enable or disable LDAP support.

To enable or disable LDAP support:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set ldap, followed by enabled or disabled and press Enter.

Setting the LDAP host IP address The Set LDAP HostIP command sets the TCP/IP address of the Directory Services server.

To set the LDAP host IP address:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set ldap, followed by hostip1 or hostip2 and the Directory Services server’s IP address. Press Enter.

Example The following command sets the primary Directory Services server IP address to 98.76.54.32:

Sentry: set ldap hostip1 98.76.54.32<Enter>

Setting the LDAP host domain component The Set LDAP HostDC command sets the domain component of the Directory Services server.

To set the LDAP host domain component:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set ldap, followed by hostdc1 or hostdc2 and the domain component. Press Enter.

Example The following command sets the primary Directory Services server domain component to servertech.com:

Sentry: set ldap hostdc1 servertech.com<Enter>

Setting the LDAP bind password type The Set LDAP Bind command sets the password type used in the bind requests. The Sentry supports two LDAP bind methods – Simple and MD5.

The Simple method utilizes unencrypted delivery of a username-password over the network to the Active Directory server for authentication.

The MD5 digest method provides much stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. For more information on MD5, see Setting the HTTP authentication method: on page 14.

NOTE: Windows 2000 is known only to support Simple binding. Windows 2003 supports both Simple and MD5 binding.

To set the bind password type:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set ldap bind, followed by simple or md5 and press Enter.

Setting the authentication order The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication sessions. The Sentry supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local and Remote Only.

The Remote -> Local method first attempts authentication with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful with the local user database on the Sentry device.

The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful, access is denied.

NOTE: With the Remote Only method, if authentication fails due to a communication failure with the Active Directory server automatic authentication fallback will occur to authenticate with the local user data base on the Sentry device.

To set the authentication order:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set authorder, followed by remotelocal or remoteonly and press Enter.



Displaying LDAP configuration information The Show LDAP command displays LDAP configuration information.

• Remote authentication order • Enabled-disabled status of LDAP support • Directory Services server IP address and domain components • Bind request password type

To display the LDAP configuration information:

At the Sentry: prompt, type show ldap and press Enter.

LDAP: Enabled

Host IP1: 98.76.54.32 Host IP2: 0.0.0.0

Host DC1: servertech.com Host DC2:

Bind Type: MD5

Auth Order: Remote->Local

Setting the DNS IP address The Set DNS command sets the TCP/IP address of the Domain Name server (DNS).

NOTE: LDAP requires the definition of at least one Domain Name server.

To display the DNS configuration information, use the Show Network command as described on page 38.

To set the DNS IP address:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set, followed by dns1 or dns2 and the Domain Name server’s IP address. Press Enter.

Example The following command sets the primary Domain Name server IP address to 98.76.54.254:

Sentry: set dns1 98.76.54.254<Enter>

Verifying the DNS configuration The Ping command may be used to verify the configuration of the DNS IP address.

To verify the DNS configuration:

At the Sentry: prompt, type ping, followed by the domain component of the Directory Services server previously configured and press Enter.

Example The following command verifies the DNS configuration:

Sentry: ping servertech.com

Pinging servertech.com [98.76.54.32] with 64 bytes of data:

TACACS+ The Sentry family of products supports the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) protocol. This enables authentication and authorization with a central TACACS+ server; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each Sentry device.

This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each Sentry product, and in the TACACS+ server) a set of necessary TACACS+ privilege levels, and users access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined Sentry TACACS+ privilege levels. User account rights can be added, deleted, or changed within TACACS+ without any changes needed on individual Sentry products.

The Sentry supports 16 different TACACS+ privilege levels; 15 are entirely configurable by the system administrator (1 is reserved for default Admin level access to all Sentry resources).

TACAC+ Command Summary Command Description Set Authorder Specifies the authentication order for each new session attempt

Set TACACS Enables/disables SSL support
